4. And now photos are pretty much the entire Internet.

You can see the Internet's first photo pictured at the top of this article. According to WebpageFX blog, who contributed this post:

"Tim Berners-Lee, creator of the World Wide Web, uploaded the first photo to the Internet in 1992. The photo was of a comedic musical act titled Les Horribles Cernettes, made up of four female CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) employees.

Berners-Lee reportedly asked one of the members for a few photos of the group after one of their performances in 1992, but she had no idea what he was going to do with them, or what significance they would eventually play in the story of the origin of the Internet.

Currently, approximately 1.8 billion photos are uploaded and shared online each day, between platforms like Facebook, SnapChat, WhatsApp, Flickr, and so on."
